Hate to say it, but I saw that coming the first time I was reading this. However, predictable it may have been, though, it was necessary in order to keep her involvement in the story. This section of the story also creates some good foreshadowing of what’s to come.

Bit of a low blow, yes, but Nicole is partly justified in this- the guy’s BRAIN TURNED OFF. Well, it’s more complicated than that, but that is kind of a concern. I get it, it’s a comic about dreams and faith and what not, but still, she IS a med student. She’s not really showing herself in a good light, getting defensive with the brother who’s got his head full of possibilities and sees her attempts at rationalizing the situation as a personal attack. No one’s perfect here.
